Making your own Marsala Chai

Making your own Marsala Chai


If coffee were perfumes, chai latte would be the one Id wear in Autumn. I love the smell of it and perhaps someone should invent chai perfume. Id buy it for sure. Not surprisingly chai latte is one of my favourite drinks to order at cafes. Then I came across marsala chai at this amazing Indian restaurant when I was in Taiwan on holiday - it was rich and creamy, full of spice and sweet. Hmmmmmm.

I found a recipe online the other day and have been experimenting with it by tweaking it here and there. Normally at home Id make my chai over a pot on a stove using cardamon pods and real ginger amongst other spices - but since I plan to take these to work, I had to settle for the ground spices which is not as strong in flavour.

I found these tea bags at the $2.50 Japanese store near work (Maruyu on Clarence Street)! Perfect for my instant chai tea experiment!

Tea bags $2.50

For my chai tea mixture, I also added milk powder so I wouldnt have to add milk as it cools down my tea. I like my tea really hot!

Mixture of all the spices + tea and milk powder

Tea bags all ready to go!

Marsala Chai Tea
Recipe adapted from AllRecipe

Ingredients
  • 1 cup nonfat dry milk powder
  • 1 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
  • 1 cup French vanilla flavored powdered non-dairy creamer (I omitted this)
  • 2 1/2 cups white sugar (I used brown sugar)
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened instant tea (I used Dilmahs black tea)
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves (I added whole cloves instead)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom (I added 2 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon fennel
Directions

In a large bowl, combine milk powder, non-dairy creamer, vanilla flavored creamer, sugar and instant tea. Stir in ginger, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. In a blender or food processor (or by hand), blend 1 cup at a time, until mixture is the consistency of fine powder.

Add them to the empty tea-bags and store in a air-tight container.

The verdict?

This mixture is pretty good and addictive. I love it with an extra teaspoon of honey too! Because they are instant and not cooked over the pot, I find that Id need to add more spices next time for the spices to be more dominant in the taste.

Make Your own My little sandbox

Make Your own My little sandbox


Just the other day I was looking around the internet for some sensory ideas. With the change in seasons, I am anticipating those cold (very cold, were in Vermont!) winter days when we can only get outside for a few minutes at a time. Around here our hands are covered all winter so although we dig, build and play in snow, much of a sensorial touching and feeling experience is limited. Last winter we had our indoor sandbox which provided some much appreciated sensory play. While I havent gotten an indoor sandbox going yet, I did come across a great little idea in the meantime. Have you seen these before?
Its called a My Little Sandbox. There is a whole series of them (found on Amazon) and theyve got good reviews. I thought it looked like something my daughters would enjoy so I made up one for our home.



Our sand is pretty well mixed with dirt, leaves and sticks from a summer of outdoor play, so I opted for using rice in our Little Sandbox. I had this miniature farm from long ago that fit perfectly.



After observing my daughters play, the rice has worked out well and is easier to clean up (they are good about not misusing it and can sweep it up independently if needed.)





They have enjoyed using it and I like that it provides the sensory experience of the rice along with encouraging creativity and imagination.

Making Your Own History Videos

Making Your Own History Videos



So this is a great video that I found from one of my long ago students. It is a Ken Burns type look at Star Wars.  It would serve as a fun back drop for your students to make their own videos about various wars you are studying.  To do so you might want to use the collaborative video maker called WeVideo which also can be added as an app to Google Drive.  Here are videos showing how to use WeVideo.
